Resilience

“The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”

— General George Patton

Bouncing back from difficult events and stressful situations by employing effective strategies to maximize well-being is Resilience.

Resilient people are more capable of managing stress and crises as well as managing the day-to-day decisions of life. Resilience combines innate traits with habits that strengthen your emotional, spiritual and physical self. When you are stressed or unhealthy, your ability to respond to stress is compromised.

Resilience is enhanced by a healthy lifestyle. We know that those who exercise, maintain a healthy weight and diet, and who have a spiritual system that provides life with meaning and purpose, are more capable of managing stress, crisis and day-to-day challenges. Those people who demonstrate high self-awareness and who feel in charge of their lives are better able to respond to the stresses of life’s challenges.
